About Carrum

Carrum is a coastal suburb in Melbourne's south east, sitting at postcode 3197 within the City of Kingston. It borders Patterson Lakes to the north and Seaford to the south, with Carrum Beach stretching along Port Phillip Bay. The suburb has a relaxed, residential character built around the water, with Patterson River drawing fishing boats and kayakers on weekends.

Carrum Station sits on the Frankston line, giving residents a direct rail connection into the city. The Carrum Wetlands, managed by Parks Victoria, provide a significant green buffer between the suburb and the bay, hosting migratory birds throughout the year.

Most of Carrum's housing dates from the 1960s to 1980s, with newer townhouses filling in over the past decade. The suburb is quiet during the week and livelier on summer weekends when Carrum Beach fills with families from across Kingston. Patterson Lakes shopping centre and the cafes along Patterson River are the main local commercial hubs.

Carrum is one of the quieter coastal suburbs along Melbourne’s Frankston rail line, and getting a taxi in Carrum should be straightforward at any hour. Silver Taxi Melbourne covers Carrum 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with fixed price quotes, no surge pricing, and a driver based in Clayton, roughly 20 minutes from Carrum by the fastest route.

Whether you need a cab from Carrum Station after a late train, a ride to Melbourne Airport from your home near Patterson River, or a maxi taxi for the family heading to a function, you book once and we handle the rest.

Airport Transfers from Carrum

The most common booking we get from Carrum is a trip to Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine). The distance from Carrum to Tullamarine is around 74 kilometres, and the weekday fare works out to approximately $172 to $190 in a standard taxi, calculated using the standard rate: $9.90 flag fall plus $2.20 per kilometre, with a $5.26 airport pickup fee on the return. If you travel between 10pm and 4am on any night, the night rate applies and the per kilometre rate moves to $2.34.

We recommend booking your airport taxi the evening before your flight. That way your driver confirms the job, sets the alarm, and you are not scrambling for a cab at 4am. For early departures, we suggest leaving Carrum at least two and a half hours before a domestic flight and three hours before international.

Avalon Airport (Geelong) is a further option for Carrum residents. The weekday fare from Carrum to Avalon, about 100 kilometres, runs around $231 to $254 depending on traffic conditions on the Princes Freeway.

Local Rides Around Carrum

Not every booking is an airport run. We cover everyday trips too: school pickups along Carrum Beach Road, rides to Chelsea or Seaford for shopping, and transfers to local medical appointments in Frankston or Clayton. Patterson Lakes residents also use this service for quick trips across the canal to Carrum proper.

For group travel, our Maxi Taxi fits up to 11 passengers and carries additional luggage. The Maxi surcharge of $17.80 applies on top of the standard fare. For corporate travel, Cabcharge vouchers are accepted on every booking.

Carrum to the City

From Carrum to Melbourne CBD, the fare runs approximately $75 to $95 depending on the exact route and traffic. This is particularly useful late at night when Frankston line trains run less frequently, or when you have luggage that makes the train less practical.
